This has been the hardest thing I've ever had to write. This book details the experience of being sexually assaulted as a teenager.In the Spring of 1996, I was sexually assaulted by a teacher in my high school. So much has happened over the years to ensure that I remain silent.Not anymore. I apologize if I'm bringing up "ancient history"I'm sorry that I can't just "let it go"I'm sorry if what I'm getting ready to say makes you uncomfortableWhy now? If not, then when?I won't be shamed.My life was literally a nightmare. Many didn't believe me. I was bullied and tortured. The press hounded me. I'm just now putting the pieces of my life back together and it's starting with this book. It's time for the truth.
